Chapter 498 The artifact is poisonous
"Why is this thing here with you?" Weier saw the thing in Purficott's hand, and her face showed a mixture of surprise and nostalgia, and at the same time a little Surprised expression.
Faced with Weier's complicated expression, Purficott looked at the birthday gift in his hand, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
"This is a birthday gift from Her Majesty the Queen. It is said to be an alchemical artifact, but I have been studying it for a long time and still don't understand what it is." Purficott told Weier. He explained while looking at her with curiosity.
Obviously, Weier's answer just now has proved that Weier knows this thing.
After acquiring this thing, Purficott had already looked at it with his omniscient eye, but when the omniscient eye, which had always been invincible in the past, saw this thing, it still gave the appraisal result as usual. , but Purficott couldn’t understand it.
"The Pointer of Hermodus"
"Material: Myth"
"Craft: Myth"
"Effect: Guide Alchemy The direction of technology”
"Evaluation: It is a divine creation born in the mythical age. It is from the hands of a real god. It is too early for mortals to come into contact with Him."
Whether it is the effect or evaluation of this artifact, it seems They were all so vague and confusing, which also made Purficott confused as to what this thing was used for.
Although its name is called "pointer", its shape looks like a crown and does not look like a pointer at all.
Especially Cuiyulu commented that "it's too early to contact Him", which made Purficott feel even more strange, because Cuiyulu had never warned her like this.
So Purficott brought this thing to the laboratory, hoping to study it and also ask Weier about the origin and use of this thing.
After all, Weier was once the president of the Alchemist Association, and was once a legendary alchemist. She undoubtedly knew much more than Perficott in terms of knowledge and experience.
And Weier did not disappoint her. She did recognize this thing and explained it to Purficott.
It’s just that there is a subtle discrepancy between Wei’er’s understanding of this object and the identification results of the omniscient eye.
"This thing is an artifact left over from the Romulus Empire. It is said to be a creation left over from the mythical era, but no one knows its specific origin." Weier introduced in a nostalgic tone Said: "Its name is the Crown of Wisdom. It is said that as long as you wear it, you can gain enlightenment of wisdom and gain inspiration and enlightenment in alchemy.
No matter who wears it, he can gain a steady stream of wisdom. Creativity and inspiration are an absolute artifact for any alchemist
I was in charge of it for a period of time. A hundred years ago, the reason why we solved the problem of mysterious loss in this world by breaking through legends was because we were inspired or influenced by this artifact.
However, the method we finally came up with back then was wrong, or there were loopholes that we were unaware of. As a result, the success failed and the four of us paid an unimaginable price. "
Speaking of this, Weier advised Purfict: "If possible, I suggest you not to use this thing. It will not help you. Your inspiration and wisdom are far beyond ordinary people, even It can be said that beyond this era, the enlightenment of the crown of wisdom means nothing to you. ”
At first glance, Weier’s words are somewhat inconsistent, and her persuasion is more like an obstruction that does not allow Purficott to achieve higher achievements. But Perficott However, he noticed the problem from the previous warning of the All-Seeing Eye and Wei'er's unclear words.
Although this artifact, known as the Crown of Wisdom, can indeed inspire wisdom and inspiration, its enlightenment seems to have hidden dangers or some kind of problems that are not easy to detect.
Cuiyulu said that "it is too early for mortals to contact Him." This Him obviously does not refer to the artifact itself, but the "real god" who made the artifact.
In other words, wearing this crown may come into contact with that god.
Contact Weier and the others who tried to break through the shackles of the legend a hundred years ago, but were cursed by the gods because of their failure. Purficott has reason to believe that there is a temporarily unknown conspiracy or conspiracy behind this. Hidden danger.
The most likely hidden danger is that wearing this crown will be affected by the god who created it.
As for what this influence is, Purficott can't speculate for the time being, but considering that the old gods have fallen, this thing is likely to be a prop used by the god who created it to resurrect it.
Although this guess was baseless, Purficott still made such an association.
"From what you say, this thing seems... useless?" Purficott was not sure, so he confirmed it with Weier again.
"That's not to say that it can't be used. If you use it once or twice occasionally, it won't be a big problem, but if you use it for a long time..." An expression of fear mixed with desire appeared on Wei'er's face. , and then said: "It will make you dependent on it, just like those addictive hobbies. Once you are addicted, it is difficult to quit.
And this will undoubtedly kill your best as an alchemist. Important creative ability, because all the inspiration and creativity you get after wearing it may come from it, not yourself.
This will destroy your self-confidence and make you severely dependent on it.
Believe me, any normal alchemist should not come into contact with this thing. "
Hearing Weier's words, Purficott nodded clearly, and then said: "I know, it seems that this thing is indeed dangerous, I will handle it properly. ”
Perficott didn’t say much and quickly put away the artifact.
After Purficott put away the artifact, Weier then asked She asked: "I heard that the empire planned to test the God-killing armor and assembled a team of extraordinary people? Are you confident? ”
"If it's just for honors, the God-killing Armor can push them to the ground and rub them in automatic mode. But you and I both understand that the God-killing Armor is not used to deal with them. Facing our real enemies, the God-killing Armor can have How effective it will be is still unknown." Purficott is not worried about the empire's test. What really makes her less confident is the evil god that the God-killing Armor needs to face.
"I can't help you with this. After all, I can't find a god for you to test." Weier was also at a loss. If she had broken through the shackles of legend back then, maybe she can now She tested the strength of the God-killing Armor, but she failed that year.
However, Purficott did not care much about this issue and said: "Don't worry, Langton's cultists will prepare actual combat tests for the God-killing Armor."
